After the awkward conversation the Ӎarauder and Supergirl followed the Flash to the Teleporter Station. There the three were met by Booster Gold and a large humanoid alien with covered in green skin with glowing red eyes, and he wore a blue bodysuit with a red "X" across his chest and a blue cape. Judging by his appearance, the Ӎarauder knew the man had to be the Martian Manhunter he had heard about, that and he looked like a much older Miss. Martian. The Flash let out a sigh in relief at the sight of the Martian.
(Flash) Wow, I never thought I'd be so relieved to see your green face J'onn. Now that I know your coming with us I wont have to deal with Booster Gold's overzealous ego alone. Besides everyone around here's acting like someone died.
Booster Gold took a step closer to the Flash.
(Booster Gold) Who's overzealous ego?
(Martian) I'm not going to be accompanying you on you mission today Flash.
The Martian held out his hand to the Ӎarauder.
(Martian) This is our global communicator, you should keep this on you at all times in case of the event where I cant contact you telepathically.
The Ӎarauder reached out and grabbed the sterling silver communicator bracelet. He slid up his white gauntlet and strapped the communicator onto his wrist, then slid his gauntlet back down over it.
(Martian) But as of now you can contact me by merely willing it through your mind.
The Ӎarauder nodded his head to the Martian before the team of heroes stepped up onto the steel teleporter platform. The entire team then was engulfed with white light and they were all gone within seconds. The Ӎarauder could now feel the natural warmth on his skin from the bright sun hanging over the city of Metropolis as they stood in front of the Utopia Casino. The entire building was surrounded by police cars and several officers standing around them with a looks of discord. Inside the casino a man by the name of Alistair Douglas stood on top of a row of slot machines with a wicked smile. He wore a black tank top that made it easy to see that his body looked was so packed with muscle his skin was about to burst. Below him seventeen men in black ski masks held up the residents inside with various machine guns and bags to fill up with money and jewelry.
(Alistair) Get it all! These snobs don't know what they have. Everything they have is simply handed right over to them, and then they gamble away everything they have because the luxurious lives they have isn't enough. Now you'll all know what its like to have everything taken away from right beneath you!
As the men circled the room, one of them stepped up to woman with done up brown hair and sparkling diamond chandelier earrings. The man smiled through the opening in his ski mask as he eyed the woman up and down.
(Man) Hey there cutie, why don't you just follow me to somewhere more private. I'll make sure your all right.
The woman took a step back and clenched her hands causing the man to sneer, then cock his M-4.
(Man) It would be best to just come with me sweetie, you could get hurt.
The woman stood silently in fear, completely frozen still. The man squinted his eyes as he pointed the barrel of his gun at the woman's face.
(Man) Its a shame to have waist something this fair, but I'm used to getting my hands dirty.
Suddenly the man's M-4 disappeared right from his hands.
(Man) What the hell!
Seconds later, all of Alistair's men had their guns disappear right from their hands, then the man who was harassing the woman was knocked unconscious by a red fist at superspeed. Now in front of the woman valiantly stood the Flash with a cocky grin.
(Flash) Hey there Miss, need some assistance?
Alistair's eyes widened as he screamed out.
(Alistair) Justice League! You don't know a single thing do you? These people all need a wake up call! And if your gonna try to stop me, I will just take everyone here down with me!
Alistair pulled out a small device with a red button on the top, then pressed it with his thumb. The casino was silent as Alistair's face grew more angered as he pounded on the red button on his device. The Flash let out a short laugh before clearing his throat then holding up a stick of C4.
(Flash) Figure I better let you know. I've already taken care of all of these if you were planning blowing us all up.
The Flash turned his hand the the stick of C-4 rolled out and tumbled down toward the ground. In another instant a blue and red blur whizzed by and smashed into Alistair throwing him back off the slot machine and into a black jack table, scattering cards and chips across the floor and smashing the table in half. Supergirl then appeared before the people in the casino.
(Supergirl) Everyone evacuate the building immediately!
At Supergirl's command, everyone in the casino began to frantically scramble to the exit of the casino, along with Alistair's men. Supergirl looked over to the flash who nodded and took off. A stream of red shot through the crowd and bellowed into the criminals, effortlessly throwing them all to the ground. Out of the remains of the broken table Alistair could be seen pushing himself up until he was fully standing. He brushed himself off before speaking in a low raspy voice.
(Alistair) Punks, you should have sent the Man of Steel if you plan on taking me in.
Supergirl spun around and faced Alistair with a look of anger on her face.
(Supergirl) Trust me, I've got exactly what it takes to bring you down.
Alistair rocketed at Supergirl using his incredible strength to jump at a blinding speed then threw his massive fist into her stomach, throwing her into the ceiling of casino. A plume of black smoke then exploded over Alistair and the Ӎarauder appeared from inside, lunging his long blade downward at him. The Runesword exploded on Alistair's face and laid him flat on the ground, but just as the smoke cleared Alistair was launching his fist upward. The Ӎarauder could see Alistair's fist as he traveled toward him, but he knew didn't have time to react. Just before the fist smashed into his face, his Tactical Aura kicked in. An almost invisible barrier appeared like tinted layer of skin over the Ӎarauder's chin. Alistair's fist smashed into the Ӎarauder's jaw and flung him back into a row of slot machines, throwing them through the air. The Ӎarauder laid on the ground motionless holding his heart.
(Ӎarauder) So there is strain in using this power.
The Ӎarauder knew that this "Alistair" must have incredible power, because he didn't even feel the kind of pain he was currently feeling when he got blasted point blank from the Lantern's ring, he had to do his best to not let himself get hit again.
